The rockingest sessions ever recorded by bluesmaster Lightnin' Hopkins. These sessions cut in Houston in 1954 and released on the New York-based Herald label feature a hard driving backbeat and an almost rockabilly feel on the faster tempo numbers. These were amongs the last sessions that Hopkins made fot the R&B jukebox market before embracing the college-based folk circuit in the late fifties. 12 of these tracks were released on an LP in 1960 aimed at the folk audience. That album is now one of the rerest blues collectables. It's all here along with every other title he recorded for Herald; roll back the carpet and put on your dancing shoes, this is no folk-blues session.
